The mystery strip.

O, the frabjous foibles of behind-the-scenes cartooning!

A week ago or more, I was working on strips at home before leaving for my day job. Uncommonly productive, I had finished one and started another, getting as far as this before I had to save and shut down:

strip-extra

I think you can see where this is going. On Saturday, as I was prepping this week’s strips to schedule, I discovered this unfinished strip… and I have no idea where I was going with it.  None.  I do know that the strip idea was a spur-of-the-moment whim, not an idea I had jotted down in my notebook, but beyond that, nothing.  Not even the penumbra of a shadow of a recollection of this gag.

It probably would have been one of my funniest ever, too.
